Shared Drives: Vulnerabilities You May Not Be Prepared For

How vulnerable are your shared drives to major data breaches?

IT leaders often view public cloud apps as less secure than on-premises hosting, yet employees are proving to be the cause of shared drive vulnerabilities. The behavioral challenges they pose are often unaddressed by common defense-in-depth cybersecurity approaches.

Developing a cybersecurity training plan should be top-of-mind for all CISOs, yet there's danger in believing that training alone can keep employees from unknowingly misusing shared drives.

Rather than relying on employees to maintain best practices, CISOs should transiton to cybersecurity solutions that let them view network connections made via shared drives and offer visibility of specific attack paths.
